Idk if you're interested in my input, but I saw Harumi asked what the name of the tempura mixture would be in English. I'm a native English speaker and love to cook. A liquid mixture (thin enough to pour) that we put on something we are deep frying is "batter" so we would call it "tempura batter." It's the same word we would also use for the mixture we bake for something like cake or muffins. If you called it "clothing" I would understand what you mean, but I admit it would sound a bit funny since "clothing" to an English speaker always means something you put on your body to cover up (shirt, dress, coat, etc.) unless we're speaking metaphorically like in a poem or riddle. I hope you find that helpful. I'm not trying to be rude, I just thought maybe it would be an interesting piece of information. I understand English can be an odd language and I admire people who do so well with it when their native language works very differently. I want to learn Japanese so I'll have a big job too for similar reasons. I love your videos. Arigato gozaimasu!

I love this idea! You’ve incorporated history, traditional cooking and a talk show atmosphere into a great video! Harumi, you’re a rockstar, girl! I’m am excited that you will be doing a series!💯

Somebody call Caitlin Doughty/Ask a Mortician, becausw I think she'd be very interested in this dish and its history!

This is almost the same tempura recipe that I made when cooking at a Japanese restaurant. We did use potato starch, but just added 1 egg to the full bowl of batter to make it a little sticky. Also we dribbled some batter on top of the items in the oil to add crunch. The 1 drop of batter rising immediately is completely accurate for testing the temperature.

The first cooking tutorial! Amazing 🤩

Better watch out Shogo, otherwise your channel is going to become "Let's ask Harumi!" Okay, I'm kidding, but this was brilliant! Would definitely like to see more like this!

The first cooking tutorial great 👏👏

I enjoyed her presentation and I really like her and you throwing in Japanese words for those of us that are starting to learn. Please keep doing this new format as part of your videos too. If I get lucky, I will get to wave to Shogo, when I am in Kyoto walking around this August. Brilliant new format and Sea Bream is on my shopping list for next weekend.

I believe the English word you were looking for is "Batter" I'm hooked

I loved this video. ❤️ Harumi was wonderful!! Great idea for a video series and I look forward to more!! And now I'm hungry for tempura. 😀

Your interaction with your wife and friends is amazing! This wholesome energy is everything! 🥰

Harumi is one of the most adorable people I’ve ever seen, and I’m sure her cooking is great! Awesome video!

Hmm… i was hoping for something like a flash history behind how the food kills Tokugawa Ieyasu or how the foods are made. I hope next episodes can cover this too

And now it's on my list of things I want to cook one day. And you both look so stunning in those kimonos. I'm in awe.

Thanks for sharing this perspective of the food! I like how the recipe is so simple, encourages me to try this out. Looking forward to more videos.

Harumi I really enjoyed Your programme on this delightful food. I love tempura. Thank You for this calm and interesting presentation 🙏☺️

I love this idea. Even more to learn from you all. I hope the scents and stomach will treat you well the next couple of months Harumi.

The tutorial of cooking Sea Bream Tempura is really delicious and Harumi's cooking skills are truly wonderful! Thank you so much for a great cooking tutorial!

I enjoyed the video and would like to see more cooking from history.

Cool video but you really should have explained how it is supposed to have killed Tokugawa. According to Wikipedia’s entry on Tokugawa “The cause of death is thought to have been cancer or syphilis”…So the tempura story is most likely an urban legend of sorts, maybe?

OMG This is really interesting! 😍 Can’t wait for the next episode 👍

Wow, never thought Id see a portuguese inspired dish in Japan, but it makes sense! Made my day

Wow, so cool! I loved the theme of historical foods!

This was awesome! I'm very happy for the both of you!!!

Thank you for this cooking video. I hope you have more of these similar videos in the future. I like the simplicity of the cooking and Harumi was great & authentic!

This was suggested to my feed because I guess I am also excited to see Jun Matsumoto play Ieyasu for the next year's Taiga drama 😅

Love the idea since I am a history-student myself. I actually know only 1 other channel who does this. Tasting history. But he is mostly focused on western history, so I am really excited what Harumi will cook!

Awesome job, Harumi! Loving this new series 😊

Great job! I love that you guys chose a dish that’s a little unique and has some interesting history. Can’t wait to see more!

This is great I can’t wait for the next one

This is an awsome new series! I totally enjoyed watching this episode. Harumi does a great job!!! 👍👍👍

I want one of those one-burner gas stoves! Also, I'm not sure how this tempura differs from modern tempura. Either way, I think Harumi did a great job!

I LOVE this concept for a series! I look forward to more like content! Well done Harumi❤🧡💜💙🧡❤

Very handy instructions on the doneness of the tempura. Thank you Harumi san and team!

Jason from Singapore: Congratulations on new show

Great idea! I look forward to more food associated with history and the explanations of how they connect

Shogo hello my friend hope you guys are enjoying cooking sea bream I’ve only had this once a very long time ago but I like how your wife prepares it. Great job Hirumi and Shogo 😜👍🙏😝♥️

What a way to start of this new series. Excellent episode. I want to try out that soy sauce bean.

Finally, the cookery section! And now I m hungry!

Yay! Cooking show w/ Shogo and Harumi!! :3

Great video! Everything looked great!

thanks for the recipe, shogo. looks delicious.

harumi's debut taking over the channel~~~~ looking forward to more~

Harumi is so cute

Harumi did great!! Maybe let her do a voiceover after you've recorded her cooking, so that she doesn't need to be too nervous ❤

Hi! Thanks for the tutorial on battering! I cook a lot, but that always was my weakest point as it is not traditionnal in my own culture.

This is really an interesting series. I would love to hear more about the historical story. How did it kill him?

Inspiring simple cooking!

Thank you for this WONDERFUL idea, Shogo and Team! 🥳 🤩 I've always wondered what cooking recipes looked like back then and I can't applaud loud enough to let you know that this series is truly an amazing idea! 🤓 That could be amazing to make a feature one day with Kimono Mom? 👏🏻 As japanese food nerds we all are, that would be awesome to have a video of all the Shogo and Kimono Mom teams meeting up together and talking about ancient japanese food compared to modern one. I would DEFINITELY watch such a video! 🔥 Take care guys 💕 and have fun with making this series. 🥳

Harumi you did a great job! My only tiny criticism would be to tell your viewers what type of flour or starch you used to create the tempura mixture. Other than that fantastic job and I'm glad Harumi wasn't affected by the strong taste of the uma natto.

Wonderfully done! :-)

Do more of this please!

Well done Harumi!! I like the "Food through history" content.

Thank you for making this video! Right now I can make only eggs. Now I have something to make that is simple and perfect to make behind my parents backs!

Oooooo. Look at Harumi. That Momma is getting it. Go get it baby you're doing Great!

Wow. Hi team Shogo! Thanks! :)

Could You Guys, sometime, make some Japanese cakes? Thank You!

The video title is fantastic!

The dish you made looks very tasty. If I'm able to find this fish here in the US I will try your recipe.

People really do underestimate simple recipes. You don't have to worry if you have go out of your way to get the ingredients (can be made on a budget, for example), it could be quickly prepared, and it could be made indoors or outdoors (backyard or going camping, for example). The hama-natto would also be useful on-the-go, easily stored away. I'm sure that eating it would be an acquired taste. Maybe it could be cut into smaller pieces so it wouldn't hit so hard on the tastebuds? For Tokugawa Ieyasu, I can see him being able to enjoy these at home and when he'd go on his military campaigns.

Thank you she did incredible

This video had very calming sounds about fell asleep

This is a great idea

This was awesome! Thank you! I look forward to learning from your videos, and doing my own trials with your recipes! On question, and perhaps I missed the answer. How did this kill Tokugawa Ieyasu-sama?

"It looks delicious... It looks very, uh, appetizing... I'm very excited to eat this..." I can see the lies in your eyes, Shogo... XDDD

You guys are amazing! Domo arigato!!!

A great video.

Shogo's family is so cute I'm going to die from that tempura too bc watching this video is too cute for me to take 😩❤

I really enjoyed the video, but as someone minimally familiar with Japanese history, I would greatly appreciate a bit of background on how this dish is related to the death of Tokugawa Ieyasu. Thanks.

Fun video series idea 💡 I’d love to watch Tomoko or Harumi learn how to drive in Japan! 😃

😂😂😂😄 I love your graciousness on tasting the Little Bean 🙏🙌🙌

She is SO beautiful ✌🏻😊 Love this video! Great energy, great knowledge. Thank you for more amazing content 🙌🏻❤️

Loved this!

That looks delicious 🤤

Yes! Finally! This is the video series I have been the most excited about since they were announced. I love learning all the things I can about Japan, but as food is one of my passions, it is my favorite to learn about!! I'm not sure what Hama-Natto actually is but it looks like Pistachio nuts to me with some kind of seasoning on them (I like to eat them when I drink alcohol so to me it makes sense that's what they would be.) Much love to the whole Shogo Family

Interesting. I was always unsure how to do or describe tempura batter to people or on make and cook such items from scratch.

Only Team Shogo could make a video with this title!

You should make more of this.

came for the title and stayed for the video

I really wish we had a different metric for "life expectancy", something like "average adult age of death" would probably fix those numbers

I'm with Harumi don't like regular natto. Next time you might want to tell the audience not to overload the pot that you're frying in. Because the temperature will drop and you will get soggy tempura or Katsu. Whenever I make tempura or Katsu if the flash is a little too much iced I will use a paper towel or clean kitchen towel to remove the excess moisture so not too much flour gets onto the flesh before going into the batter. I also like to use a digital frying thermometer to keep tabs on the temperature of the frying oil. 3 months ago I made oyako katsudon for my girlfriend. She was completely amazed. I use chicken katsu made from leg and thigh meat. I'm looking forward to see your version of oyako Don.

Sounds like hama natto is the Japanese equivalent of Marmite or Vegemite, capable of instantly dividing people into like/don't like camps. I never deep fry, only bake items like breaded fish. I too have found that simpler is better. To me, adding flavor is best done with a dipping sauce, a perfect use for the hama natto.

I thought Tokugawa had died by cancer or syphilis? Historians think it was one of these. Either way great video and subbed!!!

Must taste delicious! A very simple batter doesn't mask the taste of the fish. Thanks for starting this series: it is very interesting. At first, reading the title, I thought Harumi was trying to get rid of Shogo 🤣🤣🤣

This was such a great idea. No other channel is showing how to cook traditional Japanese food. It's also very interesting to learn what people ate many years ago. BTW Hiromi's English has improved so much!!! Go Hiromi!!! 😃😃

Throughout this video my mind was just like, "I want his haori, I want his haori, I want his haori, I want his haori--"

Hama Natto with beer. Reminds me of Salted peanuts or pretzels with beer in the west.🍺

I must admit that I am still not used to seeing Kazu without a mask.

Great now I'm hungry for fish and chips! 😑 Great video by the way. 😁

Thank you.

Oh wow saw the little note saying Harumi is pregnant CONGRATULATIONS 🎉 💕

Harumi made it look easy! 🙂

Man I dunno how to say about the title. It has a funny yet unsettling feeling about it

Tempura is based in Portuguese Dish "Peixa na Horta"

I think he's my favorite of all the leaders. I believe his family was killed by Nobunaga to test his loyalty. I do like Date (masamusa)? He plucked out his sick eye.

Complete team 😍

Time stamp ( 4:27) tempura batter, similar to what you would call an opponent of a pitcher in baseball.

Heck yeah, I live for the taste of danger 😆

Edo period Mrs Pauls

I always thought that Ieyasu died from a STD. He did live long indeed but I didn't know that Tempura would kill.
